After Furious3 Fernie, I headed south and stopped in Whitefish, MT for a sweet ride with Clint Muhlfeld and Tim Noonan. After a brief stop to see my old friends at Hammer Nutrition I continued on to Missoula. It was Fourth of July and I had heard about a sweet little weeknight MTB series on the PROXCT course at Marshall Mountain so I decided to give it a go. Despite being tired from the stage race and having the SSXC Nationals in Sun Valley just a few days away, it was a great time. If I was still into XC racing I would be all over that course–what a great one! Anyway, it was a good chance to dust off the single speed legs and get blown away by my old buddy Sam Shultz who is on the way to the Olympics! I still managed 3rd overall and sampled some of the sponsors goodness before hanging out with the local MTB crown and celebrating our Nation’s Independence Day!
